Convenient transportation. The eel rice was delicious, but it's a pity the Yanagawa cruise didn't allow passengers to disembark.

First of all, a huge thank you to our witty driver, Mr. Jin Chengyi :) My family and I are all Italian, but Mr. Jin made us feel incredibly comfortable, like friends. While driving, he let us rest quietly in the back seat (catch up on sleep 🤣), giving us ample time to relax. He drove very smoothly, and we both slept soundly in the back. At each attraction, he was incredibly attentive, constantly monitoring our whereabouts and safety, translating and communicating for us, and guiding us, yet still giving us complete freedom to wander around. He waited patiently in the car for us to return and even bought us John Lemon, the most distinctive local drink in Itoshima 🫪. I thoroughly enjoyed chatting with Mr. Jin; we talked a lot during lunch. His Chinese is excellent, and he's very humorous and witty. There was absolutely no cultural barrier; he's a very reassuring and relaxing person. Our entire trip on September 13th was perfect because of Mr. Jin. The only regret is that I forgot to take a photo with Mr. Kaneshiro 🥲 Thank you so much ☺️

They contacted me in advance to confirm details before the shoot. The weather was fantastic on the day, and the photographer from Hong Kong was very friendly 👍 Communication was great, and I'm very satisfied with the photos! It was my first time having a travel photoshoot abroad, and I had a wonderful experience 🥳 Thank you 🥹

The bus was comfortable. The tour guide was friendly and the itinerary was comprehensive and relaxing.

Our Japanese driver was very polite, lovely, and considerate; thank you so much (five stars for him!). All four locations we visited were beautiful, but the Yanagawa section was a bit disappointing, though overall it was a good trip.

This was my first time hiring a car in Fukuoka. The itinerary for the day was to visit Mount Aso to see the beautiful scenery, but unfortunately, the weather didn't cooperate and it rained heavily. The driver was very considerate and explained to us that the fog on the mountain was very thick and we might not be able to see the scenery we wanted. After carefully asking whether we wanted to shop, enjoy the scenery, or just have a quick look around, he provided us with the best itinerary. Since we were traveling with elderly people, the driver was very accommodating and made us get off at several points, ensuring that the elderly people were safely taken back to their hotel. It was a wonderful experience!

Today, I joined a small group tour to Kyushu. I was incredibly fortunate to have Ms. Chen Jing, a professional and excellent guide, as our tour leader, providing us with a truly fulfilling and enjoyable day. Today's itinerary was rich and exciting, including visits to Nyoi-rin Temple, the Umi Jigoku (Sea Hell) and Kamado Jigoku (Hell on the Hearth) in Beppu, and a panoramic view of the majestic Mount Yufu from the tour bus. Finally, we strolled through the charming Yufuin. The entire day was smoothly and orderly, without any rushing or pressure. This perfect experience was entirely thanks to our guide, Ms. Chen Jing, for her precise time management and dedicated service. Ms. Chen Jing is extremely knowledgeable, and her explanations were both insightful and engaging. When we visited Nyoi-rin Temple, she eloquently recounted the temple's long history and vividly explained the peace and blessings symbolized by the numerous frog statues covering the mountain, making the visit more than just taking photos; it became a profound cultural pilgrimage. Upon arriving at Beppu's Umi Jigoku (Sea Hell) and Kamado Jigoku (Cooking Pot Hell), she spoke with remarkable knowledge about the formation of each spring, its mineral and geological features, and historical anecdotes. She even provided detailed guidance on the best way to enjoy onsen tamago (hot spring eggs) and the unique experience of drinking marbles (marbled soda). While passing Mount Fuku, she pinpointed the best viewing angles and reminded everyone to look out, adding to the captivating geographical commentary. Even while enjoying the scenery from the car, the views were incredibly impressive. Most commendable was Chen Jing's unique perspective on itinerary planning and her practical tips. Upon arriving in Yufuin, she shared a particularly insightful travel strategy: avoid the midday rush at popular restaurants, instead spending time leisurely shopping, exploring unique shops and the Yunotsubo streets, and then enjoying the famous Yufuin Kamameshi (rice in a clay pot) later in the day when the crowds had thinned out. This valuable advice was incredibly useful! We didn't have to waste precious travel time on long queues of one or two hours at a time. We not only leisurely explored all the shops we wanted to visit, but also easily and smoothly enjoyed a delicious and authentic clay pot rice meal. We shopped to our hearts' content and ate to our hearts' content, making the most of our time. Besides the precise and meticulous itinerary planning, Chen Jing's enthusiasm and thoughtfulness were even more heartwarming. Throughout the entire trip, she maintained incredible enthusiasm and friendliness, constantly noticing the pace and condition of the group members, proactively helping to take photos and capture every beautiful moment of the trip. She always listened patiently to everyone's questions and needs and quickly provided assistance, making us feel meticulously cared for and completely secure. Meeting such an excellent tour guide like Chen Jing, who possesses rich knowledge, superb planning skills, and enthusiastic service, was truly the luckiest thing about the entire trip. We sincerely thank Chen Jing for her hard work and dedication today, leaving us with incredibly beautiful and unforgettable memories. This was an impeccable, perfect travel experience. If any friends or family members want to travel here in the future, I will definitely recommend tour guide Chen Jing without hesitation. I also sincerely look forward to participating in another high-quality tour led by her next time!
